About the Author

Rabbi Yaakov Salomon, C.S.W. is a noted psychotherapist, in private practice in Brooklyn, N.Y. for over 25 years. He is a Senior Lecturer and the Creative Director of Aish Hatorah's Discovery Productions. He is also an editor and author for the Artscroll Publishing Series and a member of the Kollel of Yeshiva Torah Vodaath.

In these marvelous stories -- brimming with wit, understanding, a touch of irony and a large helping of authentic Torah perspective -- we will walk with a renowned and experienced psychotherapist and popular author through the pathways of contemporary life: its crowded sidewalks, its pedestrian malls, and the occasional dead end street. This is a walk through our lives that will be fun, entertaining -- and eye-opening. In our full -- sometimes overfull -- and complex lives, Yaakov Salomon is a welcome and much-needed voice of sanity and reason.

His speaking, writing and musical talents have delighted audiences from Harvard to Broadway and everything in between. Rabbi Salomon shares his life with his wife, Temmy, and their unpredictable family.

On Rosh Hashah(and on every other day),we must thank God for all of our blessings;we must try not take anything for granted.

Thank you,Rabbi Salomon,for your inspiring video. I will try to remember to thank God for all in the New Year. L'Shana Tovah.

Rabbi Salomon-wondering about this video and this article

http://www.aish.com/sp/so/95491119.html

I remember feeling the same for the Mets after 2008 and I really gave it up in 2009 but found I was addicted again in 2010 and have been since. Where are you holding? Is this video an indication that you follow again? Maybe you can respond here regarding that. Shana Tova.

the bigger they are...

Very good, rabbi! Even the greatest can fall in a second! It's no mistake that the letters in 'Matt Harvey' can be rearranged to 'Avert A Myth'!

But, rabbi, you knew that, of course.
